19:26 IST: Hello and welcome to the match Delhi Daredevils and Gujarat Lions. The toss is about to take place. Do stay with us for all the latest news and updates from the match straight from Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi.

Gujarat Lions are all but out of the race as they are struggling at the second last position in the eight-team tournament with just six points from 10 games.

Having finished an impressive third in their inaugural season last year, it turned out to be a disappointing campaign for the Lions in 2017. Only a miracle from here on might see them qualify for the knock-out stages.

GL come into the match following consecutive losses, which includes the demoralizing defeat against Mumbai Indians in a Super Over at Rajkot, which more or less demolished their chances.
